Agreed. We both need a specific bactericide which is sprayed directly onto the surface of the evaporator. Autokool's foaming evaporator cleaner sounds promising.

Maybe it's becuase i hvent used the A/C for 6 months owing the the low speed resistor going. Didnt want to damage the compressor.
First you should renew your resistor as soon as you can. Secondly, by not using the air conditioning you risk losing the refrigerant gas through unlubricated seals. It should be run at least once a month all the year round. Thirdly, your compressor won't be damaged. As the refrigerant pressure rises the fast fan speed will trigger. This will happen normally in very hot conditions when the slow speed provides insufficient cooling. Even if both speeds have failed, the trinary high pressure switch will disable the compressor clutch to prevent damage.

Will use it 24/7 for a while and see if it clears itself out.
It won't! We both need to remove whatever is holding the moisture.
